An East New Street resident returned home and discovered his home had been burglarized.

The homeowner said the rear door had been left unlocked and there was no sign of forced entry. After a thorough search of the residence, the only items the homeowner found missing were a laptop computer and a case of Coca-Cola.

The homeowner said he often ran middle school aged children out of a building located behind his residence. The homeowner said he not seen anyone in the building that day.

Later that day, an East Wright Street homeowner reported a possible burglary.

A neighbor said a man wearing a dark colored hoodie was in the victim’s back yard. Though the neighbor did not see the man enter the residence, he believed they had.

The victim said she did not think the burglar got very far since she keeps nine pit bulls inside her home.
